London's Air Ambulance Helipad Abseil June 2023

Blog 1

On June 9 2023, I will be abseiling down all 17 floors of my workplace, the Royal London Hospital, in support of the London Air Ambulance Charity and need your help to reach my fundraising goal. Despite being absolutely terrified of heights, I am determined to conquer my fears and make a real difference to the patients of London. 

The London Air Ambulance is a vital service that provides rapid response and critical care to people who have suffered serious injury or illness. The service relies solely on the generosity of the public to keep flying and saving lives.

The London Air Ambulance team is made up of highly trained paramedics, doctors, and pilots who work tirelessly to deliver care to patients in their time of greatest need. They are often the difference between life and death for patients who require urgent medical attention, and their work has saved countless lives over the years.

Your donation to my abseiling fundraiser will help London Air Ambulance continue to provide their lifesaving service to those who need it most. It will go towards funding the helicopter and medical equipment, as well as training the highly skilled team that make up the service.

As the Service Manager of the Emergency Department at the Royal London Hospital, I have witnessed first-hand how important the London Air Ambulance charity is to the community. The service provided each day by the London Air Ambulance team often means the difference between life and death for patients who come into the department every day.

Thank you so much in advance for any donations that you are able to give.

I'm Abseiling to help save lives in London

London’s Air Ambulance is the charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to London’s most seriously injured patients. Your donation will help save more lives by keeping the helicopter in the air and the rapid response cars on the road, ready for when they are needed most. By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, London’s Air Ambulance Charity aims to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma.

I will be abseiling from the home of London's Air Ambulance Charity on the 17th Floor of The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. Anyone that knows me will know how absolutely terrified of heights I am, so this is going to be a big mental challenge for me. 

If you are able to and would like to support me, please give what you can to help save lives in London.
